applicable), including Digital Video Recorders or DVRs (NiceVision Digital products)
and digital Decoders (NiceVision Net products).
Depending on the type of integration, MM8000 allows accessing to video images in
MM8000 event treatment and navigation as well as providing states of video devices.
The detailed list of supported products and version is provided in the latest
MM8000/MK8000 Release Notes.
4.1.1 Video Network Manager
In Composer, to support the video network communication, you must add the Video
Network Manager (VNM) to the MM8000/MK8000 configuration. Proceed as follows:
The Composer plug-in #251701 is required.
1. In the MM8000 physical configuration, select the main station name:
Supervisor System Settings > MM8000 System > Physical configuration > <Station
name>
In MK8000 projects, the selection is quite similar:
MK8000 System > MK8000 > Physical configuration > <Station name>
2. In the toolbar, click the VNM icon .
A new node is added. No further configuration is required for the VNM.
Note: Adding the VNM results in the entire Composer project being expanded to
support the CCTV functions. Particularly, the new tab
Camera Extensor is added to all
nodes. Depending on the size of the configuration tree, the operation may take a few
minutes.
New tab added by the VNM in the MM8000 project
Camera Extensor tab
In the Camera Extensor tab, you can see the camera associations and manually add
one or more cameras to the list associated with the selected node. Also, for dome and
PTZ cameras, you can set the default
Preset Position (where the camera is moved
when it is first selected during event treatment).
Refer to the point customization section of the
MM8000 Installation, Configuration and
Commissioning
(ICC)
manual for more information about the Camera Extensor tab.
4.1.2 Video Drivers

Special Settings on AMS Server with multiple IP addresses
If the AMS server (NICE/RIVER video server) is equipped with network adapter(s)
handling more than one IP address, make sure to apply the following setting:
1. On the AMS server, edit the configuration file ApplicationServer.API.dll.config
2. In the configuration file, set the EventConnectionUsingMachineName flag to true
5.1 Limitations
Currently, the support of NICE/RIVER DVR units is subject to the following limitations
(please check latest news with customer support):
Maximum number of connectable DVR units per Server or FEP is 150 (100
recommended for best performance).
Maximum number of AMS Server is 4.
Special types of alarms (e.g. traffic, baggage, intrusion) are all mapped in MM8000
as motion detection alarms.
Data and time synchronisation fails if a registration is in progress on the DVR unit.
Redundant AMS Servers cannot be supported, which means that a NICE/RIVER
DVR can be associated to one AMS Server only.
Only 1 playback per station at the time is possible, even when quad-view is used.
